The DJI Osmo Action 6 is the world’s first variable aperture action cam, offering users unprecedented flexibility for creative and technically challenging shots. With an innovative 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensor, variable aperture from f/2.0 to f/4.0 and an extended dynamic range, the camera significantly improves image quality, especially in low light conditions. Numerous professional functions and a robust housing make it the ideal companion for adventures and vlogging.
- Variable aperture from f/2.0 to f/4.0 for optimum exposure in different lighting conditions.
- Square 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor with large 2.4-μm pixels for up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range
- 4K video recording at up to 120 fps in 4:3 format, SuperNight mode with improved noise reduction.
- Professional stabilization (RockSteady 3.0, HorizonBalancing), 2x lossless zoom and up to 182° wide angle with optional lens.
Maximum control through variable aperture
The Osmo Action 6 breaks away from the conventional concept of fixed apertures on action cams and enables variable control of the aperture between f/2.0 and f/4.0. This allows the camera to adapt optimally to different shooting conditions: In the dark, the open aperture provides more light and clearer images, while in bright situations a smaller aperture ensures sharper details and creative effects. In auto mode, the aperture is dynamically adjusted, while a special starburst mode conjures up fascinating star effects in night-time lightscapes.
This is complemented by separately available macro and wide-angle lenses, which enable close-ups with a shallow depth of field or extend the field of view to up to 182°, for example. This opens up a wide range of creative possibilities for vloggers, adventurers and photographers.
Modern sensor and video technology
The new 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor with 2.4 µm pixels guarantees excellent image quality with great detail and high dynamic range. Videos can be recorded in 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second, which enables outstanding slow-motion recordings including up to 32x super slow-motion at 1080p. The SuperNight mode ensures low-noise, clear video recordings even in the most difficult lighting conditions.
In addition, the Osmo Action 6 supports a 10-bit D-Log-M color system for detailed color capture with flexible post-processing and a real-time preview of color and exposure on the camera screen.
Extensive professional functions and robust design
The camera is equipped with the latest stabilization technologies, including RockSteady 3.0, HorizonBalancing and HorizonSteady, which compensate for camera shake and horizon tilt. The lossless 2x zoom and Natural Wide viewing angle preserve image quality and a natural perspective.
The waterproof housing (IP68) protects to a depth of 20 meters (without housing) and up to 60 meters with waterproof accessories. Integrated temperature resistance down to -20 °C enables use even under extreme conditions. The battery provides up to four hours of runtime and is charged to 80% in 22 minutes.
The camera also supports high-quality audio recording with direct connection to up to two DJI microphone transmitters, as well as an integrated three-microphone array with wind noise suppression.
Conclusion
The DJI Osmo Action 6 sets new standards in the action cam category with its variable aperture, state-of-the-art sensor and numerous professional features. It offers particular advantages in low-light situations and creative image compositions. At the same time, it impresses with its robust construction and long battery life for a wide range of outdoor adventures.
